My lovely wife casually mentioned that if I wanted to go detecting at a certain sports field, she could fill in the time doing something in the area. Little did I know it involved show homes and a certain local lottery!

She ended up buying the "Value Pack" of 3 tickets for $250.00. I ended up with 48 coins totaling $1.26. On the bright side, I did pick up 2 more silvers, a 64 dime and 52 quarter, and a cheap stone that fell off a cheap ring.

All in all it was a good night (especially if we win 1 of the houses).
